Hi all, figured I'd add my own quest for a new pair of cans to the fray...
I've already got a pair of DT250-80s and HD555s. For IEMs, I've got a pair of SE530s and UM3Xs and I really do like the UM3Xs - probably my favorite sound of all headphones I've used - they're balanced, forward, have bass and detailed high end; great instrument separate and in general an amazing sound for me.
Now...I also have a Darkvoice 336 tube amp, so I was thinking of using that with some cans...and that means I'd want a higher impedance can, right?
I had been thinking about a Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm pair.
My intended uses are music, occasional movies, and gaming. And here is where another question comes in: is it really at all wise to be using a tube amp while gaming?
What are some other options that have a good balanced sound, perhaps slightly favoring a warm sound, that would work with my tube amp?
I'd also be grabbing a USB DAC for my PC (no DAC needed for my stereo setup though) - what would be a good DAC to match that's not too much?
Thanks!
